Down south, the holidays mean family—and for Yankee librarian Tori
Sinclair, family means the Sweet Briar Ladies Society sewing circle. It
may not be a white Christmas, but it’s one she’ll never forget—no matter
how hard she tries…

Instead of spending a nice,
relaxing Christmas with her fiancé, Tori Sinclair has been drafted into
Sweet Briar’s holiday Decorating Committee. And the season has brought
sad tidings as well: Charlotte Devereaux, a sewing circle founding
member who unraveled after her storybook marriage fell apart, has passed
away.

Charlotte’s last days were foggy,
distressed, and feverish… except for the sketches she produced. One
detail in particular jumps out at Tori and leads to a shocking
revelation: Charlotte’s husband didn’t leave her—he was murdered! And as
she gets closer to the truth, Tori will discover that just about
everyone in town has got notches on the naughty list this year.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

It’s not often that someone can provide visual proof of the exact
moment their lifelong dream was born. Which means I’m one of the lucky
ones…

Nestled safely in the top drawer of my filing cabinet is the very
first book I ever wrote—a six-page illustrated story entitled, Kidney Learns a Lesson. Looking back, I can’t help but think the more accurate title would have been, A Dream Is Born.

While Kidney (a sweetly drawn little brown bear) was learning the
kind of lesson its ten-year-old creator felt noteworthy, I was falling
in love with the process of writing…of creating a world that came to
life beneath my pencil.

With my path chosen, I began devouring every book I could find—my
earliest favorites being penned by the likes of Carolyn Keene, Laura
Ingalls Wilder, and Mary Higgins Clark…

Through them, I learned the joy of reading. Through my devotion to
craft, I learned the joy of plotting and creating. And through
my readers, I’ve learned the joy of providing a momentary escape from
life—a chance to explore a new place, a new career, a new hobby, a new
experience.

Thanks to all!

Sadly, we will be saying good bye to Bookin' With Bingo early next month. Things just have been too hectic so we have chosen to close down with hopes for a new "BWB" someday. Thanks to all and KEEP READING!
